Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

STUART As they begin restoring two old buildings at a prominent downtown spot along U.S. 1, Jeff and Christine Hardin have persuaded the owners of a popular Tequesta dining spot to open their second restaurant there.

Hog Snappers, which opened in August 2009 at 279 S. U.S. 1 in the Palm Beach County part of Tequesta, has signed a 10-year lease for the former Bubbas Fish Camp site at 421 S. U.S. 1 in Stuart that has been vacant for more than a decade.

The Hardins company, Straticon Construction Services, specializes in restoration work. They paid $590,000 in February for the 1.34-acre site in Stuart that holds the 64-year-old restaurant property and the 86-year-old building that had been a hotel in its previous lives.

Jeff Hardin said as soon as the city of Stuart grants the permits, he will begin the $400,000 renovation project to build out Hog Snappers to the Rivaldos specifications.

How the two got together is a tale of fate.

After the Hardins bought the property, they looked for a suitable restaurant to fill the space.

Friends told them about Hog Snappers, he said, so they tried it.

We liked the restaurant so much we went and recruited them, Jeff Hardin said.

Hog Snappers owners Arthur and Melanie Rivaldo said the renovated building in Stuart will have the identical menu and seating capacity as their Tequesta restaurant.

But about 60 percent of the 74 seats in Stuart will be under cover outdoors. The Hog Snappers in Tequesta has no outdoor seating.

A federal judge in Kansas City, Kan., has ruled against the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas in its suit against a water district.

The decision rendered by Judge Carlos Murguia on Dec. 20 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas in Kansas City further jeopardizes a reservoir project that leaders of the northeast Kansas tribe say is critical to their people's water security.

"We are greatly disappointed in the decision," said Steve Cadue, tribal chairman.

Cadue has lobbied for years to move the reservoir project forward, even personally asking Gov. Sam Brownback to intervene.

He and other tribal officials argue that the Plum Creek Reservoir project was integral to a watershed plan they signed in 1994 with the Nemaha-Brown Watershed Joint District No. 7. The tribe's reservation lies almost entirely within the water district.

The watershed plan, meant for soil conservation and flood prevention, included 20 flood-retarding dams, as well as, according to Murguia's order, a "multipurpose dam with recreational facilities, otherwise known as the 'Plum Creek Project.' "

When the tribe was unable to obtain some of the non-Indian land needed for the Plum Creek project, it asked the water district to use its powers of eminent domain to procure it.

District officials repeatedly refused.

The tribe filed suit in federal court June 14, 2006, hanging its hat on a provision of the watershed agreement it said mandated the district to use its power of eminent domain to bring the contract to completion.

"Nemaha-Brown Watershed Joint District No. 7 and the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas have the necessary authority to finance and install their portions of the planned project," the provision reads. "This includes the right to accept contributions, levy taxes, make assessments against benefited land, issue bonds and exercise the right of eminent domain. They have agreed to use these powers as needed and will be financially responsible for excess investigation and design costs resulting from their delay or failure to do so."

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) -

Two Lake Charles men were arrested Sunday in connection with a Wednesday night shooting, city police said.

Deputy Chief Mark Kraus said Damien Jermaine Royster, 22, and Thomas Demond Plumber, 21, have been charged with attempted first-degree murder.

Kraus said Royster and Plumber, along with an unidentified third suspect, attempted to rob another man at a home of North Franklin Street.

"The victim, who suffered several gunshot wounds, said he was home alone when three subjects knocked at his back door," Kraus said Monday in a news release.

"Once he opened the door, the three males pushed their way in and began to batter him in an attempt to rob him. The victim said he was able to fight them off when two of the suspects fled while one suspect shot several rounds at him while exiting," Kraus said.

Kraus said after a follow-up investigation, officers obtained arrest warrants for Royster and Plumber.

Royster was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Judge Michael Canaday set Royster's bond at $900,000, while Plumber's bond was set at $260,000.

Another man was arrested at the scene Wednesday night on charges unrelated to the shooting. Kraus said Catlin Isaiah January was charged with two counts of cocaine possession and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond was set at $10,000.

KPLC will have more on later editions.

Name: Tommie Campbell

Age: 60

Job: Pest technician and trainer at J&J Pest Solutions.

How long have you worked for J&J Pest Solutions? "I've worked here on and off since 2010."

How long have you been in the pest control business? "Overall? It's been 40 years. I started working for the government and did that for about 37 years. I retired in 2010 after I met Jim," Campbell said. Jim Campbell is the owner of J&J Pest Solutions. "And then (I) started helping him and giving advice." Campbell figured out different ways to remove pests without using pesticides during his time with the government.

What do you do at J&J? "Pest (removal), mostly. I take care of general pests. Everyone here has their own territory; one's strictly termite. I do a little of everything."

What's a typical day like? "Over the summer, some days go long into the night, sometimes. I start around 8 a.m. and end up going on for who knows how long. You can go to your first place with four stops for the day, and end up with 10 or more. It all depends what's going on and what calls you get. You never really know."

What's the biggest pest problem here? "Bedbugs have made a tremendous comeback. We thought we had them eradicated for 30 years, and they've just made a huge comeback. They're one of our biggest concerns. And eradicating them can be hard. They can lay dormant for two years and then, boom! They're just crawling all over."

What's the most surprising part of your job? "You gotta love people. You can't just get a job and not get connected. You have to get on their level, listen to their complaints. It's very people-oriented. They know you, trust you. It wasn't my dream job to be in pest control all my life, but it's a very fulfilling job."
